"Mr. and Mrs.McDanial are super good professionals and very trustworthy. We asked them to fix, paint, renovate the inbuilt kitchen furniture, fix the plumbing and electricity on the back pattio. We were pleased with how they did everything. They did a great job! We intend to use their great service in the future. I would definitely recommend them."

"Hired them to demo a garage door and build a brick ledge. Then had them frame the wall and install a large window. The work done was exceptional. Think this young man is professional and very friendly. Can not recommend him enough."

My name is Cortney Deel, and construction has been a part of my life since day one. Raised in a family where both my parents ran successful construction companies, I learned from an early age that there’s nothing a skilled hand and a bit of passion can’t fix or rebuild.\n\nI specialize in restoration and general remodeling, and there’s truly nothing I enjoy more than watching a project come together—transforming spaces into something beautiful and functional. Currently, I’m a production supervisor at a manufacturing facility, but my heart is in construction, and I’m excited to offer my expertise on the side to bring your home improvement ideas to life.\n\nWhether you need a simple fix, a full restoration, or a complete remodel, I’m confident that I can help recreate the space you’ve been dreaming of. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime for a consultation or to discuss how I can assist with your next project.\n\nLooking forward to working with you.\n\n

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.
